I’m impressed!
James Baxter
I saw an ad for this product on Instagram of all places. I was intrigued but skeptical. Then I did some research and the device and software seemed legit. Now that I’ve purchased it and used the app, I’m very pleased—both with the hardware, as well as the sophistication of the exercises. I went in expecting a gimmick but have emerged a believer. This is an elegant little piece of technology, and it integrates nicely with Apple Health. Please keep up the great work.
Great idea, buggy app
scryer99
The concept is great - workouts are generally safe and effective. Unfortunately, the app is bug-filled and also server-dependent, which sort of defeats the purpose of an app meant to be used “on the go”. If you cannot log in to the server the app is unusable. That is unacceptable for a piece of kit costing $100+. And when it is up and running, it is still flaky — watch app in particular does not work well and tends to cause workout data gaps. Apple Health integration is rudimentary. This needs work yet, which is too bad because again, the core concept and physical hardware are great.
Great exercise, terrible iPad app, too intrusive

After toying with this in the App Store and having fun with it, I decided to get one for myself, little did I know that you have to register yourself with the company and share all kind of private information with little workaround. After disabling all notifications, location tracking etc., I hoped to give it a try on my iPad to discover that the app is unfortunately programmed for use in portrait orientation. I am simply surprised that in 2019 such a basic UX mistake was allowed to pass any quality inspection. Never mind that the company supplied a cheap old plastic stand for your device. The sort of thing you would receive at a trade show. It doesn’t hold an iPad. The most frustrating however is that I feel this app is not secure when it comes to privacy.
Update: latest update fixed the watch app for me

Update: The latest update fixed the watch app for me. Original:Excellent hardware, however the watch app has never seemed to work for me.
App is garbage
PiratePrincessa
1. Cannot ever load support page from the app. Will not load. 2. Evry single exercise requires that you set the max power. Every f-ing time. So you set the max power for chest press in one workout but that doesn’t carry over to another workout. So that “5-min” workout is 15 minutes long. When you’re wrong by 3x thats just dishonest. 3. Reached out to support via their website about some factual errors - they have named muscle groups incorrectly, specifically the quads and abductors/adductors - how credible is a fitness company that can’t name major muscle groups correctly?!?! Love the concept. At this point consider this company total garbage. Sick of the hype. Deliver or shut it. Returning my unit.
Fantastic Workout Motivator!

I’ve been trying to get myself into the gym for over 20 years. It has never worked. I saw this in an Apple store and I tried it and I immediately fell in love. It makes working out just a little bit more like playing a game. It tracks everything you do and gives you instant feedback and you can do these exercises anywhere at anytime. Another great bonus is you only need to spend five minutes at a time. Ideally five minutes three times a day will turn you into a rockstar! The whole thing looks sort of gimmicky, but I felt the burn after the first 15 seconds.
Great device and horrible buggy app

This device concept is great! I’ve seen and felt results from the isometric exercises. I think the device is great if you don’t have time to make it to a gym. You can literally do these exercises anywhere. Except it may get a bit awkward if you do some of the floor ones at work or at the airport. The app is horrible. Also customer service is lacking. The app crashes a lot mid exercise. The device even disconnects at times. What I find most aggravating is the promise of the Health App integration. It’s great when it works, but that is less than half the time. It only sends caloric information to the Health App and doesn’t show you within Activ5 what that information is. So when the app crashes, which happens frequently during workouts, no information synchronizes with Health. I’ve reached out to them about this several times, but no response. I assume this is also faulty programming since when I go back to the email part of the app, it looks like it never sent. I wish other developers were allowed access to this device that have better reporting functions. Otherwise as I’ve said the device itself is a great concept.
App keeps crashing when trying to pair device

I bought this and tried to connect it but the app literally crashes every single time. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, using another device, logging in and logging out and every other possible hack. It just doesn’t work. Worst Christmas present ever
